Im getting sick of Pryce's pie hole

[cutthemdown]

You know what is it with this guy and all his bad mouthing of the Shannahan and the Broncos. I for one am getting sick of it. Why doesn't he just shut up and get ready for the season. All I hear from this guy is football is fun agian, one wrong step in Denver and it was all over for you, they wouldnt cut me loose to make plays etc etc etc. You know what most players say it's a blessing to play in Denver. The Broncos pay well, they win, the fans love and support the team, they have first class facilities and a pretty nice city to spend your money in. He thinks the grass is so green in Baltimore well graze up old horse. Pryce's best days were behind him 3 yrs ago and he was no where near worth 10 mil in upfront money. I hope for the worst for very few former Broncos. Quiterson is really the only one to this point I have not wanted to see do well. Pryce has made that list for me now and I'd like to see him crash and burn in ratbirdland.

eh, I can't blame Pryce. Coyer said pretty much the same thing that last year the DL wasn't allowed to cut loose as often and this year they would be.

[Raidersbane]

He's just a whining bitch. He'll get sick of Baltimore soon enough.

[Broncoman13]

I only needed one excuse to hate Trev... BALTIMORE!

The only reason I'm disappointed in his comments is b/c he'll likely retire a Raven now. Trevor was the best modern day Lineman the Broncos had. Best in the past 20 years anyhow.

[mccready7]

I wonder what set him off? It's not normal to just start badmouthing for no reason. I'd like to know what it was.

[Florida_Bronco]

Maybe he's unhappy that the Broncos made it clear he wasn't worth his salary.

[Jason in LA]

Every player that gets the boot says stuff like that. A lot of players have come to the Broncos and said how great the team is, while bad mouthing their old team. And pretty much every Bronco who got the boot talked trash about the Broncos, while saying their new team is great.

[Broncoman13]

He's been upset for a couple years now. It's nothing new, his complaints about not being allowed to just penetrate and get after the QB I mean. He said last year in camp that he didn't like "being a blocking dummy" so that the LB's were clear to make plays. Funny that he likes it in Balt.

Suprisingly Clinton Portis doesn't fall into that category.

I never noticed that. Maybe now I can stop rooting against the guy.

[BroncosMT]

What is Pryce going to say when Baltimore cuts him after this year because they will realize what the Broncos know...that he is a one game horse and that is it!

[KipCorrington25]

I don't mind it at all, it just confirms the fact that it was the right move to cut him loose. Obviously if he has all these issues now he wasn't the best guy to have around any longer...

[Traveler]

It's sad he's openly talking negative about the team. Like Coyer said in his presser, "It's probably best for both sides to part ways."

My hope is that he doesn't have his one "A" game of the year against us. Some recent former players have had pretty good success against us. Sharpe in the playoffs and Deltha O'Neal in the Monday Night game a few years back.

he will, no doubt about it

I keep saying Pryce is good for only ONE good game a year at this point in his career

and viola.......that one game will be against us

[KipCorrington25]

He probably will have a big game against us and that was sort of the deal with him the last few years. He would show flashes and then disappear for weeks on end. So I'm guessing that trend will continue although he's getting older so probably less flashes and more disappearances.

[manchambo]

I wonder what set him off? It's not normal to just start badmouthing for no reason. I'd like to know what it was.

Could it have anything to do with them cutting him after he was one of the best defensive linemen in the league, and the best defensive player on the team (i.e., before Champ arrived), for a number of years? Try to see it from his point of view for god sake. Not only is it undoubtedly humiliating to get cut, but it also cost him a bunch of money, and shows that teams have no loyalty to players (let me be clear here that I don't fault the Broncos in any way for cutting him--probably the right thing to do).


What would you say if you got into work today and they told you they don't think you're very good anymore, they found someone younger and cheaper, so your ass is fired?

[Steve Sewell]

Just wait til he gets a dose of Billick. He'll come back begging for a farewell tour ala Mr. Sharpe (although Shannon didn't have to beg)

Thats bull****...I haven't heard one thing out of MA's mouth that has been negative about the Broncos.

It's only been those class acts, Pryce and Quitterson. And of course Daryl Gardener but I think he might have taken 5 snaps for the team.

Good observation...that's all B-More's d-lineman have ever been asked to do with Ray Ray there.

[Steve Sewell]

Suprisingly Clinton Portis doesn't fall into that category.

Clinton acts like a clown but his time in Denver earned him that phat $$$$$$$$$$ when we traded him, so I'm sure he appreciates the opportunity. He comes off as kind of a punk but I always had the impression of him as a pretty good guy and a good team player. I think he's demonstrated that most of all in Washington with the type of offense that they run (pre-historic that is).

[Orange_Beard]

I have him on ignore.

[KipCorrington25]

If you want to take the big contract you have to take the scrutiny and accountability that goes with it. You can't get paid and not produce and expect nobody to hold your feet to the fire on it.

[Popps]

Yea, problem is... he hadn't "cut loose" in a number of years. It wasn't just a last year-thing.

He was a decent player, but I never really got over him sticking a gun in our ribs for the biggest salary (for a d-linemen) in the league, and then completely disappearing.

[shakenbake]

He wasn't the same after his move from DT to DE. He was a great DT and an average DE. Even in the past few years he made more plays when he lined up at DT.

Additionally, he has been full of excuses these past few years. Remember when Berry and Howard had big years, he complained and said it was because he was always double teamed. Now its because he was a "blocking dummy". Whatever Trevor have fun in Baltimore. Lets not forget he pretty much sat out the entire year in 2004. The pass rush was just as lousy with him in there last year as it was in 2004.

[ClevelandBronco]

I have only two words: Cut block.

Can you feel the love, Trev?

[cabronco]

I havent heard any bad press come from Mike Anderson..prolly cuase he's a class guy w/ good character. Pryce just needs a big tall glass of shut up juice.

[Tredici]

Personally I think you guys read too much into his comments. Trevor Pryce never shied from a question and always gave an honest answer. That was one of the reasons I liked it when he was interviewed. He never tried to hedge or be "politically correct". He's being the same person now. You don't change your personality because you change teams. He's stating things from his point of view. Big deal.

[WABronco]

I didn't like Pryce when he was in Denver either...all he did was bitch bitch bitch.

[Nuggets4]

Personally I think you guys read too much into his comments.

Wait... you mean people on this site might be overreacting to what someone in the NFL/media/ESPN says?!?!? I'm stunned! STUNNED I tell you!

Pryce did what was best for him when the Broncos did what they thought was best for them. Everyone should win. I'll miss him because I thought he was an excellent DT and a good DE. Plus, it's sad seeing guys who won rings with us leave. Go watch the SB XXXII team video. That'd be Trevor at the end of the game screaming into the camera "WE won! WE won! We did it!"

You just violated Orangemane Rule number 35, subpart (c), which requires that all members believe: (i) that all former Broncos were not very good and that we never liked them that much anyway, and (ii) that any negative thing a former player, coach, trainer, owner, groupie or hanger-on says, implies or thinks about the Broncos is entirely unjustified, incorrect and slanderous, and is merely a case of a whiner, sore loser, malcontent, or similar person of inferior morals, breeding, upbringing and character running their mouth.

I propose a 5 day suspension for this infraction. The sentence can be suspended if you immediately start a thread criticizing Clinton Portis.

We had some good ones "recently". Alfred Williams, Neil Smith, Karl Mecklenberg, Simon Fletcher, Keith Traylor.

In case you weren't paying attention, Denver cut him, putzier and anderson before the new CBA was resolved. They didn't know what was going to happen with the cap, so they had to cut their expenses. Denver had hopes of resigning all three of them once they resolved the CBA and got the cap increase. Denver wanted to bring him back at a lower price (which is understandable at his age and with his numbers slipping over the years). Trevor hasn't been happy for a while, this is all pent up bitterness that he's been carrying for a while, and finally he has the ballz to speak up now that he's out of town. Anderson opted to take more money to go to Baltimore as well, and Denver just didn't feel that their asking price was fair in comparrison with their age and productivity. Anderson is in his 30's and he looked worn out at the end of the season. Neither was worth bringing back at their asking price.

What would prove loyalty? Denver maxing out the cap to keep these guys?

All of that is of course true, and it can be summed up as: the NFL is a business. It would be just as true if someone walked into my office now and told me to hit the bricks, nothing personal, just business. But it just being business doesn't mean it wouldn't hurt my feelings, embarrass me, make me feel betrayed, etc, etc.

And what you seem to be ignoring is that they chose to cut Pryce, out of many other players. They didn't cut Al Wilson or Champ, and they elected to re-sign Lepsis and Nalen. I fully believe that was the right thing to do, but if you don't think that naturally and unavoidably causes hard feelings to the player getting cut, you don't understand human nature very well.

[Mtbrncofn]

he will, no doubt about it

For sure. If it's the Ratbirds with former Broncos playing against us...count on it.

[Northman]

Maybe he's unhappy that the Broncos made it clear he wasn't worth his salary.


Bingo. I like Trevor but he just wasnt producing on the field like he should anymore and his injury was a liability. Add that to the money he wanted and it just wasnt in the cards for him to stay. Now he is bitter about it.

[ZONA]

If you figure we are paying Cutler and Plummer a healthy salary for the same position, there was no dime to spare on spending 10 million on Pryce.

His going off is no different then a company that lets you or I go. I worked for this one company for 5 years and I loved them, until they relocated my position to NJ. I didn't feel like saying lots of nice things about them after that. Pryce is no different. He's a little pissed because he wanted to stay here.

I'm not sure why anyone was surprised by this move, least of all Trevor. The writing was on the wall beginning of the season last year when he was coming off a subpar performance after surgery the previous season. The coaching staff all but accused him of dogging it then.

He was shopped to every team in the NFL but no one would gamble with the return value asked being a number one pick, because of not knowing whether he return to form even though he could pass a physical. I wish the Broncos would've worked a trade then, because the team would've got something for him then. But I also thought Trevor handled that very public situation very well.

Seems like it was known this last season was a lame duck year for him. No surprise when he was released immediately.

I liked Trevor when he was here. But I think he has too many other distractions - like his music business - and that isn't the type of guy going to last long with Shanahan. If he has a couple more good seasons in him. good for him. If he doesn't, good for Shanahan.

[Tredici]

and we are stating our point of view so what? Even Ownes when he goes on a rant is expressing his point of view that doesnt make it correct or acceptable. Screw Pryce I hope he crashes and burns in Baltimore.

Owens generally rants out his own teammates. I don't look at that in quite the same manner. But I don't have a problem if you do.

[Mtbrncofn]

I always liked Trev too, that's why I hate it that he went to a horrid team like the Ratbirds.

Good luck, Trev.....unless it's against us.

[watermock]

I wonder what set him off? It's not normal to just start badmouthing for no reason. I'd like to know what it was.

Ya know what they say...criminals begat criminals. He's just pickin' it up fast from Ray and Jamal...the Lewis twins. Hell, their names even sound criminal. Jamal sets up the deal and Ray Ray and his posse make sure it all goes down smooth as a blade. Hell...Ray and Jamal...that even SOUNDS criminal. Trevor will fit right in with his new rap record label.

[watermock]

Clinton acts like a clown but his time in Denver earned him that phat $$$$$$$$$$ when we traded him, so I'm sure he appreciates the opportunity. He comes off as kind of a punk but I always had the impression of him as a pretty good guy and a good team player. I think he's demonstrated that most of all in Washington with the type of offense that they run (pre-historic that is).

I too don't get the Portis bashing. Don't forget...Champ Bailey was also complaining about $$$. He is just goofy, not a criminal. His drugs of choice are comedy and loose women.

You can't be serious. Why do you think they traded him?

[Pendejo]

You can't be serious. Why do you think they traded him?

They offered him a very nice contract. He turned it down because he was sick of the turn over in the defensive staff, and Daniel Snyder's act. It has been documented. I'm sure that if you find archives of the denverpost from the time shortly after the deal was made...you'll understand what I'm talking about.

I may be wrong on this point, but I believe that Champ was set to become a free agent, but the trade was made before he officially became a free agent. The Donks had a contract in place with him before the deal was made.

Money wasn't the issue with Roland...stability, and winning was. He was going to get paid handsomely either way.

[cutthemdown]

Mike Preston, of the Baltimore Sun, reports Baltimore Ravens DL Trevor Pryce continues to adjust to a new defense, particularly dropping back more into coverage as opposed to solely being a straight-ahead end.

this was off kffl. I thought Pryce was happy because now he could go after qb all the time. If Ravens have him dropping into zones isn't that also going to keep him from the qb? LOL, he will be complaining about that at the end of the year or sooner. Like I said before Pryce needs to shut up and play football not give interviews about how bad a place Denver was to play. It's a slap in the face and Pryce can break his back for all I care now.

It's funny when a player complains about what his old team "did to him".....and now his new team is doing the same thing. I agree. Shut up and play.
